Zeal.


There is a suburban church, situated
not far from very attractive and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS slum, which
makes a practice, generally on Sunday,
after the Sunday-school services, of
distributing the greater part of the
flowers that have served in the deco
ration of the church among the poor
children of the school. This dfstri-
button is almost as popular with the
street children as is the Christmas
distribution Of gifts and confec-
tionery. F1e
One Sunday recently, after the mass
of the children had been given a few
flowers, the Sunday-school superin-
tendent saw two hoodlumish small
boys whom he did not recognize stand
ing near by very wistfully, caps in
hand. aFt
"Well, boys" said he, cheerfully,

The superintendent felt that such
zeal should not go unrewarded, and
gave the boys handful of bright

glad to emerge at another part OF the

Quaker Testimony.

Mrs. A NJ. Dauphin of 1880 Ridge Ave, Phila-
dclpha, has done great deal to make known to
ladies here the great value of Mrs. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as cure for their troubles
and diseases. She writes follows: IA young
lady of this city while bathing some years ago was
thrown violently against the life line and the in
juries received resulted in ovarian tumor which
grew and enlarged until death seemed certain. Her
physician finally advised her to try Mrs. Pinkham' 8
Compound. She did so and in short time the
tumor was dissolved and she is now IN perfect
health. 1 also know of many cases where the
medicine has been of great value in preventing
miscarriage and alleviating the pains and dangers

worth of this medicine and its great value.

A Celestial sunday-school.

There is no doubt about a Chinesn
Sunday-school being an interesting
place to visit. There is one of them in
Sixth avenue, conducted by the Bap-
fists. A Mail and Express reporter
strolled in there o recent Sunday after
noon. There were about seventy-fve
pig-tailed Celestials seated demurely
side by side. The pupils listened to
the proceedings with infiexible gravity
and sang with earnestness and con-
siderable melody.
A Sunday-school hymn rendered into
laundry English is a curious thing to
hear. The first song they rendered
was the good old hymn, "Shall We
Gather at the Riyere" AS sung by the
Mongolians, it sounded something
like this:
Shall we glathcl after livel.
Whale blight angel feet have tlod,

Flowing by the tlllone of Glod?
After that the teachers began their
individual labors with their almond
eyed pupils. The raw recruits were
first taught to read. Those who had
been there before received instruction
in the foundation of the Christian re-
ligion.
| 1t was hard work, and the teachers
did not make progress rapidly. An
excellent and elderly lady, who has
given the best part of her life to this
kind of work, struggled with the Orl-
entail density of Sam Wind and Charlie
Lee, two Bleecker street Celestials.
She was trying to teach them the
lesson of Divine forgiveness.
.sNow, Sam" she said, with an en-
couraging smile, "what would you de

st. Louis, May lS.-After an illness OF
eleven days, of pneumonia, one OF the
must active and eventful lives OF the re-

about 10 o'clock, that of Mr.. ]. w. Par

er of what is now the St. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas Railroad system. Born in Ohio
fftv-fve years ago, Mr.. Paramore COM
pleted his education there, studied law.
married Miss Clock, lady of Monroe
vile, that state and settled to q
practice of his profession. All of his plans,
however, were changed by the outbreak of
the war, as he volunteered on the Union
side and Immediately went into active ser
vice, coming out as Colonel. Being at
tracted by the south, he located at Nash
vile, and soon became identified with the
most enterprising business projects there.
He conceived the idea of erecting large
cotton compress, and endeavored to carry
out his plans there, but the business men of
Nashville were slow to see the advantage
to be gained, and in 1872 he came here to
carry out his plans. He soon found
men here to join him in the enterprise,
and the st. Louis Cotton Company was the
result. The property is now one of the
largest of its kind in the country.
Mr.. Paramore was also one of the fore
most of the projectors of the Cotton Trans
portation Company, which is yet in its in
fancy, but which, it is expected, will oc-
.cupy a very prominent place in the field
which it occupies. He was also interested
to considerable extent in other enterprises

Facts About Greats Book.

Following are some interesting dats
concerning the publication of General
Grants book:
In binding the cloth books there
were 1889 sduare yards of cloth
used, or if put into one piece it would
make a strip one yard wide and % 1-5
miles long.
The gold used in stamping, letter.
ing, etc., on all kinds of binding, il
coined, would make SIS. 446. 4S.
The prices paid the gold heaters for
this gold was s21, 939 30.
There were 176 barrels of binder
paste used, weighing about $4,000
pounds.
There were q, SS2 sheep skins used,
1921 goat skins and 1873 calf skins.
AS none of these skins were split it
represents, of course, the killing of an
edual number of animals.
There were about 800, $40 reams of
paper used in printing, which weighed
1 ,813, $50 pounds, or 9O63 tons. This
put in one piece, would make a stripe
2 feet wide and 1,682s miles long.
IF the books were piled up in a row
the narrowest way-that is, the same
as they would stand in a bookcase 1T
would take shelf 19a miles long to
hold them.
If the pages of the books were join.
ed togather it would make a strip of
paper 6 inches wide and 1924 miles
long.
.Forty-one steam presses were work
ing day and night, more than 1000
operatives were employed, and more
than 5000 agents engaged in distibu-
ting the book. Two these latter-who
were mainly old soldiers and the
windows of soldiers-was pasd in
commissions for selling the pook con-
siderably more than 100000 in
cash
